Review of Lifemark

Lifemark (2022)
3/10
unnecessary religious tone and cloying soundtrack
17 January 2023
Unnecessary religious tone, preachy dialogue, and cloying soundtrack detract from the story and makes it fairly unwatchable.. I wanted to like it but this story's been told before, and better. The christianity aspect carries some judgmentalizing with it. Their god is always in a win-win position, because if their prayers and faith succeed. Then god gets the credit for the miracle. Failure of prayers and faith means it wasn't god's will and god works in mysterious ways. Pretty convenient. That's probably to be expected. It's their thing. It's a shame because young people need relatable ways to deal with real-life issues like adoption, teen pregnancy, and life skills without the fantasy of religion.
